Last of the Living (2009)
Enjoyable movie, not a blockbuster but quite fun
As long as you aren't expecting a blockbuster, you should enjoy this movie. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a zombie movie, with characters who are "the boys" in every way. If you like zombie movies, then you'll probably only read the comments to make sure that the movie isn't terrible - which it isn't.
It has fun, funny, serious, and even poignant moments. There is some character development as well. One criticism would be that the movie sometimes makes killing zombies looks easy and fun, and in other situations difficult.
The movie has good atmosphere, although not as well developed as Shaun of the Dead or 28 Days Later. The plot is not terribly strong or original though.
Parasomnia (2008)
Not as good as other comments make it out to be
I watched this movie after seeing other comments on IMDb, even convincing my wife that it was a "unique horror movie." I wanted to like this movie, but was unable to.
The "love story" was good, but the horror aspect was quite bad. If the story was just about a young man who fell in love with a girl suffering from parasomnia, then it would have been a better movie.
The care centre stretched credulity well past the limits, in fact it was quite ridiculous. The doctor happily ignors privacy laws and professionalism. A nurse goes into a room for a routine feeding of a dangerous patient (without security escort), and drops the tray and runs out of the room screaming for no apparent reason. The forensic patient (and the film's villain) is tied up in a standing position fully clothed - apparently for years? None of it makes much sense.
The movie even had some actors that I've liked in other things, such as the detectives, but still I can't recommend this movie.
